My wife and I took the Paris Croissant and Breakfast Pastry Class with Gail and it was one of the highlights of our time in Paris. The class was very well organized and Gail is an excellent instructor. What we appreciated most was her insight into the small tips and techniques that can make the difference between an okay pastry and a great one. She explained the “why” behind each step clearly and shared practical advice that went beyond just following a recipe. Gail is patient, kind, and especially good at helping people who need a bit more support. She did this in a way that never singled anyone out... just quiet, encouraging guidance that made everyone feel comfortable and capable. The atmosphere stayed relaxed and enjoyable the whole time. Highly recommend this class if you want more than a tourist experience. You’ll leave with better skills, a great breakfast and a real sense of how French pastry is made. Thank you, Gail!
What a wonderful review—thank you! We’re truly delighted that our Paris croissant and breakfast pastry class became one of the highlights of your trip. Gaelle will be so happy to hear your kind words. We believe the magic of French pastry lies in understanding the little details: the “why” behind each technique, the feel of the dough, and the small adjustments that make a real difference. We’re especially glad you appreciated the calm, personal guidance and left with new skills rather than simply a fun tourist activity. Thank you for joining us!
Ahhhh, the French! French wine, French perfume, French kissing...and, French pastry! We finished our 26-day France vacation with this class in how to prepare and back croissants and pain au chocolat. It was delightful and truly a way to complete our vacation.
